EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enchanting English actress, Kitty Gordon (née Constance Minnie Blades), in the prime of her career as she poses for the camera in 1909. Dressed in an elegant Edwardian outfit, Kitty exudes confidence and charm as she dons a Merry Widow hat, a prop from her final role on the English stage as Olga in The Dollar Princess at the London Pavilion. The Dollar Princess was a popular musical comedy that had its Broadway premiere in 1907 and quickly gained international acclaim. Kitty's exceptional talent and captivating stage presence earned her a place in the production's London cast in 1909, marking the culmination of her successful theatrical career in England. The Merry Widow hat, with its distinctive peacock feathers, was a symbol of glamour and allure during the Edwardian era. In this photograph, Kitty's elegant posture and the striking hat create a timeless image that encapsulates the essence of the era's theatrical sophistication. As the curtain closed on Kitty's English stage career, she left behind a legacy of memorable performances and an indelible mark on the history of English theatre. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of her enduring talent and the magic she brought to the stage.
